…Attitudes Necessary for Successful Geoscience Career
• “Succeeding at HDR is all
about making yourself
indispensable. Find the
tasks that need to be done
but that no one else is
willing to do, and volunteer
to get them done. If you
take ownership of them and
do them well, within 6
months we won’t
remember how we got
along without you.”
- Bill Brinker, HDR Engineering
